The developers withdrew their application and the project is officially off the table. I am truly stunned by the outcome and keep thinking about how this only happened because all of you spoke up. Please keep staying alert to what happens on Fender Lane.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many of you have stepped up to protect our neighborhood. Seeing this number grow is entirely due to your efforts and I am just humbled to be a part of this movement with you. If you could send the link to just a few neighbors this week we might finally hit that next milestone before the hearing.

Where is the water coming from? Everyone is already on limited wells and now they want to drain the aquifer for this monstrosity?

Fender lane is already a nightmare with the school traffic. Adding horse trailers and construction vehicles is a recipe for a bad accident.

LIGHT POLLUTION IS THE LAST THING WE NEED. NO MORE COMMERCIAL PROJECTS IN OUR RURAL ZONE!

My kids play outside all day. We dont want the flies and the smell of a massive stable right next to our houses. This makes zero sense.

Totally out of scale for this area. Why put a giant arena in the middle of a bunch of homes? Greedy.

This is a quiet residential area. 50 horses and all that traffic is just gonna ruin the whole neighborhood. Keep this commercial stuff out of our backyards.
